The Tribunal found that the AO had not properly applied its mind to the issue of indexation from the date of allotment. Therefore, the revisional order under Section 263 was justified. However, the Tribunal directed that the period of holding should be computed from the date of allotment as per settled law.
The Tribunal found that while the CIT(A) was correct in deleting the disallowance made mechanically by the AO, a small disallowance was reasonable given the nature of common expenses. Therefore, the Tribunal directed a disallowance of Rs. 5,000.
The Tribunal restored the issue of leave encashment provision to the Assessing Officer pending the Supreme Court's decision. For unabsorbed depreciation, the Tribunal followed coordinate bench decisions and directed the Assessing Officer to allow the assessee's claim.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer had made proper inquiries and arrived at plausible conclusions on all issues raised by the CIT. The Tribunal found that the AO's original assessment was not erroneous or prejudicial to revenue.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision regarding the unexplained cash loan, finding the assessee's explanation unsubstantiated. The Tribunal also agreed with the CIT(A)'s partial relief on unexplained investment and profit, finding the reasoning sound.
The Tribunal held that the delay in furnishing TDS statements was not intentional or deliberate, but due to bonafide reasons. Following Supreme Court and Tribunal decisions, the penalty was deleted as there was no dishonest act or benefit derived from the delay.
The Tribunal held that while the assessee proved a part of his purchases, the explanation for cheque and transfer deposits was not acceptable. Therefore, the income from these deposits was to be estimated.
The Tribunal held that the assessee segregated shares into trading and investment at the time of purchase, used own funds, and the majority of gains arose from a single scrip held for an average of 7 months. Previous years' similar gains were accepted.
The Tribunal held that the sale consideration for capital gains should be Rs. 2,17,00,000/-, as the assessee was entitled to that portion of the total sale proceeds. The excess amount received by the assessee was considered a payment to the builder for the extra area allotted.

The Tribunal allowed the assessee's application to withdraw the appeal. The Departmental Representative had no objection to the withdrawal.
The Tribunal restored the issue of structured interest swap loss to the Assessing Officer for de novo consideration, finding inconsistencies in the lower authorities' reasoning regarding its classification as a speculative transaction. The other grounds were not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpt.
The Tribunal held that the assessee admitted a portion of the undisclosed income during the search and specified its source. Therefore, penalty should only be levied on the remaining undisclosed income.
The Tribunal confirmed the deletion of additions made under section 68 and for unaccounted share sale receipts. It followed previous decisions of co-ordinate benches and jurisdictional High Court rulings.
The Tribunal noted that similar losses were incurred in preceding and subsequent years and were allowed in an earlier assessment year. Considering the nature of the business, the Tribunal found the loss percentage consistent and allowed the claim.
The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's request, noting the assessment was made under Section 144 and the CIT(A) order was based on written submissions. The Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order and restored the issues to the AO for fresh examination.
The Tribunal affirmed the decision of the CIT(A) to delete the addition. It held that the assessee had discharged its onus under Section 68 by providing evidence of the shareholder's identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness of the transaction, which the AO failed to rebut.
The Tribunal held that the assessee exhibited a casual and wilfully negligent approach by not appearing or explaining the delay. Consequently, the delay could not be condoned, and the appeal was dismissed as not admitted.
The Tribunal held that the plinth/foundation is an integral part of the windmill, essential for its stability, and therefore should be treated as plant. Consequently, the higher depreciation rate applicable to windmills was allowed.
The Tribunal held that the additions made by the AO under Section 14A were not sustainable as they were not based on any incriminating material found during the search. The CIT(A)'s decision to delete these additions, following the jurisdictional High Court's precedent, was upheld.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision regarding the unexplained cash loan, finding the assessee's explanation unsubstantiated. The Tribunal also agreed with the CIT(A)'s partial relief on unexplained investment and profit, finding the reasoning sound.
The Tribunal held that while the assessee's claim of dealing in second-hand vehicles could not be entirely rejected, the provided evidence was insufficient. Therefore, the entire deposits could not be treated as income, nor could the declared commission income be accepted.
The Tribunal held that it would be incongruent for two assessments to concurrently survive with contradictory findings by the AO. Therefore, the impugned assessment was set aside.
The Tribunal held that the conditions of Section 79 of the Income Tax Act were not met as the persons holding not less than 51% of the voting power were not the same on the last day of the year in which the loss was incurred and the year in which the set-off was claimed. Therefore, the denial of set-off was upheld.
The CIT(A) deleted the addition, holding that only Rs. 25,000/- was received as transfer fee, and the balance was voluntary contribution for common benefit covered under the principle of mutuality. The Tribunal upheld this decision, finding no contrary material from the Revenue.
The Tribunal found that the tax authorities were justified in doubting the source of purchases due to lack of transportation details. However, considering the higher Gross Profit rate declared by the assessee, the estimated profit addition was reduced.
The Tribunal held that the issue of disallowance under Section 14A needs to be examined afresh by the Assessing Officer. This includes re-evaluating investments in mutual funds to determine if they are dividend-yielding or non-dividend-yielding, considering the assessee's contentions and relied-upon case laws.
The Tribunal, following the jurisdictional Bombay High Court's decisions, held that depreciation is allowable on assets even if their cost was treated as application of income. It also held that deficits can be carried forward and set off against subsequent income.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the addition. It noted that an identical addition in original proceedings was deleted by the Tribunal, which held the expenditure to be revenue in nature as it was for maintaining roads to wind farms and no new asset was created.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, agreeing that strategic investments in a subsidiary do not warrant disallowance under Section 14A when no dividend income is earned. The Tribunal followed previous coordinate bench rulings.
The Tribunal held that since no incriminating material was found during the search concerning the Section 14A disallowance, and the assessment years were unabated, the additions were not sustainable. The CIT(A)'s decision was upheld following the jurisdictional High Court's precedent.
The CIT(A) was justified in deleting the addition made under Section 14A as the assessment year was unabated and no incriminating material was found during the search. The CIT(A) correctly followed the jurisdictional High Court's decision.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that strategic investments in sister concerns and investments made from own funds do not warrant disallowance under Section 14A. Investments in convertible debentures were also excluded as their income is taxable.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, stating that the deduction under Section 10A should be allowed before setting off brought forward business losses. This decision was based on the Bombay High Court's ruling in the assessee's own case and other precedents.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of purchases, relating to the assessee's business, should have been used to reduce the declared business loss. The AO's failure to do so was not justified.
The Tribunal held that the rental income should be assessed under the head 'income from business' as the assessee company's objects and Supreme Court decisions supported this view. The order of the CIT(A) was set aside.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee's claim of the investment being in a group company was not brought to the tax authorities' notice. Therefore, the issue requires fresh examination by the AO.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's consent to an addition of 12.5% of the alleged bogus purchases was binding, as it was based on the assessee's personal knowledge of revenue leakage and not an ad-hoc acceptance during assessment. The reopening of assessment was also found to be valid.
The Tribunal held that a 25% disallowance of purchases, as estimated by the CIT(A), was on the higher side for a wholesale trader. It reduced the disallowance to 12.5% of the alleged bogus purchases.
The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's argument that materials were necessary for production, but also noted deficiencies in proving the genuineness of purchases. Therefore, the addition was restricted to 12.5% of the purchase amount.
The Tribunal held that since the assessee possessed invoices, made payments through banking channels, had quantitative details, and the sales turnover was not disputed, the entire disallowance of purchases was not warranted. A profit element is to be accounted for in such cases.
